Ofsted Insights

What This School Does Well

New Regent's College excels at supporting some of the most vulnerable pupils in education. Staff use creative attendance strategies and strong relationships to help pupils feel safe and ready to learn. The school's success in helping older pupils achieve qualifications and move confidently to college or employment is particularly impressive, given how disrupted their previous education has been.

Key Strengths

  • Excellent attendance improvement strategies including home visits, mentoring and flexible starts help pupils return to school regularly
  • Strong behaviour and emotional support create a calm, respectful environment where pupils feel cared for and safe
  • Older pupils achieve well in qualifications with almost all moving to college, apprenticeships or further education
  • Comprehensive inclusion support including counselling, speech and language intervention, and one-to-one help removes barriers to learning
  • Successful reintegration programme supporting many pupils' return to mainstream schools

Areas for Improvement

  • Younger pupils' curriculum is not consistently designed or delivered, with errors and misconceptions not always identified quickly
  • Some pupils with significant gaps in reading, writing and mathematics upon arrival are not consistently assessed or supported
  • Curriculum and teaching approaches need to be more consistent across all year groups
  • Depth of knowledge and understanding for younger pupils needs strengthening

Safeguarding

Safeguarding standards are met - leaders have created an open culture where safeguarding is everyone's responsibility and concerns are actively identified and managed.

Extracurricular Activities

Drama workshops, climbing, kayaking, music events, museum visits, arts venue visits, community space visits

New Regent's College is a school that supports pupils with significant barriers to learning, including those with disrupted education, anxiety and social care involvement. The school helps these vulnerable pupils rebuild confidence, make progress and successfully transition to mainstream education, college or employment.
